TNT picks up three series
By Nellie Andreeva
TNT is aggressively stocking up its original series pipeline.
The cable network on Thursday picked up to series all three of its
pilots, the Steven Spielberg-produced alien invasion drama starring
Noah Wyle, the George Clooney-produced "Delta Blues" starring Jason
Lee and "Rizzoli," starring Angie Harmon.
All three have received orders for nine episodes in addition to the
pilot.
The move comes on the heels of TNT renewing freshman dramas "Men of a
Certain Age," "Dark Blue" and "Hawthorne" and picking up NBC cop drama
"Southland."
The alien invasion project, written by Robert Rodat from an idea he
conceived with Spielberg, is set shortly after aliens have wiped out
most of the human population. Wyle plays the leader of a ragtag group
of soldiers and civilians who struggle against the occupying alien
force, with Moon Bloodgood, Jessy Schram, Seychelle Gabriel and Maxim
Knight co-starring.
DreamWorks TV is producing the project, with Spielberg, Rodat, Justin
Falvey and Darryl Frank executive producing.
The hourlong "Delta Blues," from Clooney and Grant Heslov's Smokehouse
Pictures and Warner Horizon, centers on Dwight Hendricks (Lee), a
Memphis police officer who lives with his mother (Celia Weston) and
moonlights as a tribute artist.
The pilot, written by by Liz M. Garcia and Joshua Harto and directed
by Clark Johnson, also co-starred Abraham Benrubi and DJ Qualls.
Clooney, Heslov, Garcia and Johnson serve as executive producers, with
Henry Bronchtein and Abby Wolf-Weiss co-exec producing and Harto
producing.
Based on Tess Gerritsen's Jane Rizzoli mystery novels, "Rizzoli," from
Warner Horizon, revolves around the crime-solving team of Boston
police detective Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and medical examiner Maura
Isles (Sasha Alexander).
The cast of the crime procedural, written by Janet Tamaro, also
includes Lorraine Bracco.
Tamaro is executive producing with Bill Haber and "The Closer"
executive producer Michael M. Robin who helmed the "Rizzoli" pilot. "

Evidently TNT forgot that their core audience does not like sci-fi.
However, if it's enough like a _mindless_ summer blockbuster, their core
audience /might/ get into it.
That's right up TNT's alley, in a "In the Heat of the Night" sort of
way.

Angie Harmon and especially Sasha Alexander would be reasons to watch,
for me, IF it wasn't on TNT.

Delta Blues needs a name change so they can keep it apart from Dark Blue.
This sounds like another remake of Red Dawn...with a need for 'aliens' now 
that the Russians escaped while we weren't watching them, like Russians do. "

I'm happy that RTB is gone as I didn't really care for that show. It's
also nice to see Noah Wyle, Jason Lee and Angie Harmon getting new
shows. Whether they will actually work out is the question and we
won't know until we see the shows."

But the ones we've been getting are about the beginning of the
invasions:
Surface
Threshold
V
War of the Worlds
even:
The X-Files
Terminator
Angel
Space: Above and Beyond
The Invaders
Dark Skies
Starship Troopers
Isn't this one new in that the apocalypse has already happened, more
like Battlefield Earth or Mad Max or Futurama?"

How do you differentiate Post Apocalyptic World from Post Apocalyptic 
Western (yes, I really heard a property described as that today).

By the budget?  A $10 budget makes it a Post Apocalyptic Western, while 
a $100 budget upgrades it to a whole World?
(This comes from me making the mistake of starting to watch 'Robot 
Apocalypse', a movie filmed in New York City's Central Park. O_o )

A PAWestern is a subgenre of a PAWorld.
